When you receive your new battery, if it is dry, remember its
service life begins when you put in the acid. Do not fill it more than
?" above the elements. Within 2 hours of filling, ensure that the
battery goes on charge. The battery will be charged when all cells are
gassing freely. Periodically recharge during periods of vehicle
inactivity

If you have battery problems, the best piece of equipment is a hydrometer.

If all cells have low specific gravity, then probably all the
battery needs is recharging. An overnight trickle charge will not do!

If you have a trickle charger the battery should be left on for 48
hours then stood disconnected for 3 days and the specific gravities of
the cells taken again. If the one or two cells are much lower in
gravity than the others, the battery is possibly faulty.

Always ensure that you use a charger with a 6 volt facility for 6 volt batteries

If the electrolyte is discoloured brown/black in all cells then the
battery may have just ended its service life, or the vehicle's charging
system is overcharging the battery and has probably damaged it beyond
repair if the battery will not hold its charge.

All our batteries are manufactured on-site and are tested thoroughly
to ensure our high standards are upheld in every battery we make.
